I guess the only thing that really and truly surprised me about the Republicans and this Russia stuff is that I thought the one actual value they held that wasn't just a bullshit posture, was that they actually were patriots and nationalists who loved their country.

That's why I've always given a modicum of respect to my political opponents - I assumed they loved their country and I can respect that. Apparently, I was just fooled like everyone else. These Republican office-holding slimeballs and rightwing douchebags don't love their country - they love their Republican party and billionaires and other than that, fuck you. What a charming bunch they are.

Well, it looks like Republican patriotism is just as much bullshit and hypocrisy as all their other so-called core political values. Surprise, surprise!
